How high?: More information is needed to evaluate the significance of high cholesterol. Cholesterol is one of risk factors for heart disease, others being high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, being overweight. It would be prudent to discuss it with your doctor to see if diet and exercise may be sufficient or if you need medication.
